I'm guessing (ie I don't know ;)), that it would be something like swap has at some point been used, but the pages swapped out have never been needed to be brought back in from swap, whereas pages needed again after the swap would be back in memory. I.e never bother bringing anything back in from swap if its has never been needed since. Have a feeling some of the geeks may know :D
